The quality and price of celery varies by season, same with all
produce. I find our local market has good to excellent produce all
the time. Sometimes celery bunches are a bit on the small side with
narrow stalks but it's still good for most uses. I enjoy celery raw
but I also like it braised. I also use a lot of celery in stirfrys.

Agreed, juicing produce is a total waste. It's smarter to braise it
or add to soups... when I braise produce I also consume the braising
liquid... otherwise it's like throwing the baby out with the bath
water.
